    Re: Tesla Motors Corporation
    Case 32-CA-197020
    Dear Geshuri:

    Enclosed is a copy of a charge that has been filed in this case. This letter tells you how to
    contact the Board agent who will be investigating the charge, explains your right to be
    represented, discusses presenting your evidence, and provides a brief explanation of our
    procedures, including how to submit documents to the NLRB.

    Investigator: This charge is being investigated by Field Attorney


    Edris W.I. Rodriguez Ritchie whose telephone number is (510)671-3041. If this Board agent is
    not available, you may contact Deputy Regional Attorney Jeffrey L. Henze whose telephone
    number is (510)671-3008.

    Right to Representation: You have the right to be represented by an attorney or other


    representative in any proceeding before us. If you choose to be represented, your representative
    must notify us in writing of this fact as soon as possible by completing Form NLRB-4701,
    Notice of Appearance. This form is available on our website, www.nlrb.gov, or from an NLRB
    office upon your request.

    If you are contacted by someone about representing you in this case, please be assured
    that no organization or person seeking your business has any "inside knowledge" or favored
    relationship with the National Labor Relations Board. Their knowledge regarding this
    proceeding was only obtained through access to information that must be made available to any
    member of the public under the Freedom of Information Act.

    Presentation of Your Evidence: We seek prompt resolutions of labor


    disputes. Therefore, I urge you or your representative to submit a complete written account of
    the facts and a statement of your position with respect to the allegations set forth in the charge as
    soon as possible. If the Board agent later asks for more evidence, I strongly urge you or your
    representative to cooperate fully by promptly presenting all evidence relevant to the
    investigation. In this way, the case can be fully investigated more quickly. Due to the nature of
    the allegations in the enclosed unfair labor practice charge, we have identified this case as
    one in which injunctive relief pursuant to Section 10(j) of the Act may be
    appropriate. Therefore, in addition to investigating the merits of the unfair labor practice
    allegations, the Board agent will also inquire into those factors relevant to making a
    determination as to whether or not 10(j) injunctive relief is appropriate in this case. Accordingly,
    Tesla Motors Corporation -2- April 18, 2017
    Case 32-CA-197020

    please include your position on the appropriateness of Section 10(j) relief when you submit your
    evidence relevant to the investigation.

    Full and complete cooperation includes providing witnesses to give sworn affidavits to a
    Board agent, and providing all relevant documentary evidence requested by the Board
    agent. Sending us your written account of the facts and a statement of your position is not
    enough to be considered full and complete cooperation. A refusal to fully cooperate during the
    investigation might cause a case to be litigated unnecessarily.

    In addition, either you or your representative must complete the enclosed Commerce
    Questionnaire to enable us to determine whether the NLRB has jurisdiction over this dispute. If
    you recently submitted this information in another case, or if you need assistance completing the
    form, please contact the Board agent.

    We will not honor any request to place limitations on our use of position statements or
    evidence beyond those prescribed by the Freedom of Information Act and the Federal Records
    Act. Thus, we will not honor any claim of confidentiality except as provided by Exemption 4 of
    FOIA, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552(b)(4), and any material you submit may be introduced as evidence at
    any hearing before an administrative law judge. We are also required by the Federal Records
    Act to keep copies of documents gathered in our investigation for some years after a case
    closes. Further, the Freedom of Information Act may require that we disclose such records in
    closed cases upon request, unless there is an applicable exemption. Examples of those
    exemptions are those that protect confidential financial information or personal privacy interests.

    Procedures: We strongly urge everyone to submit all documents and other materials by
    E-Filing (not e-mailing) through our website, www.nlrb.gov. However, the Agency will
    continue to accept timely filed paper documents. Please include the case name and number
    indicated above on all your correspondence regarding the charge.

    Information about the Agency, the procedures we follow in unfair labor practice cases
    and our customer service standards is available on our website, www.nlrb.gov or from an NLRB
    office upon your request. NLRB Form 4541 offers information that is helpful to parties involved
    in an investigation of an unfair labor practice charge.

    We can provide assistance for persons with limited English proficiency or disability.
    Please let us know if you or any of your witnesses would like such assistance.

    Very truly yours,

    Valerie Hardy-Mahoney
    Regional Director
